  - Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0736, the PHP omni-completion script in
    runtime/autoload/phpcomplete.vim interpolates a class or trait name, taken from the contents of the edited
    buffer, into a search() pattern that is run via win_execute() without escaping. A name containing a single
    quote can terminate the search() string argument early, and because the bar is honored as an Ex command
    separator, the remainder of the name is run as Ex commands; via the :! command this allows arbitrary
    operating-system command execution when a victim opens a crafted PHP file and invokes omni-completion.
    This issue is fixed in version 9.2.0736. (CVE-2026-59856)

  - Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0735, the C omni-completion script in
    runtime/autoload/ccomplete.vim interpolates the typeref: or typename: extension field of a tags entry,
    without escaping, into a :vimgrep pattern that is run through :execute. Because :vimgrep honors the bar as
    a command separator, a crafted tag field can close the search pattern and append an arbitrary Ex command;
    opening a hostile .c file whose project tags file contains such an entry and invoking C omni-completion
    runs that command as the editing user. This issue is fixed in version 9.2.0735. (CVE-2026-59858)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
